EA has convinced the Dutch football association to allow it to include the Dutch national team in FIFA 10.

While Dutch players have been playable with their clubs in past FIFA games, it was previously only possible to play as a fictitious Dutch national team, without official likenesses and kit.

Given FIFA's obsession with licensed details, this was a bit of a stain on the brand, especially since rival series Pro Evolution Soccer sorted it out a while ago (and the Dutch team is definitely in PES 2010, for the record).

But that's all sorted out now, as you can see in screenshots of the Dutch national team in FIFA 10.

EA has revealed a list of fixes it's about to make the mighty popular FIFA 2010. "Responding to post-launch feedback from the community during the last two weeks, a new downloadable game update is being readied for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3," said the FIFA UK community manager.

Electronic Arts has claimed that it holds a 75% market share of football titles sold across Europe.

According to CVG, the FIFA developer/publisher said that it is on par with Modern Warfare 2 in terms of European sales across Europe.

EA's Jens Uwe Intat said: "We continue to beat the heck of Pro Evo and across Europe we're taking 75% of the football space.

"FIFA was neck and neck with Modern Warfare 2 [in 2009] to be the best-selling game across Europe."

The EA boss also revealed that the company plans to reduce Modern Warfare 2's dominance with games such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

"The shooter space is one we don't want to give up. It's an important genre and we were the number one. So we are certainly working on how we can get that crown back and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an important product in that context," he said.

Bad Company 2, which is developed by DICE, is due to be released for the 360, PS3, and PC in March.
